custom tab won't show up in web ui

We added a few custom fields under custom tab in work item editor and they work well in the rich client. But we can't see the custom tab and the new fileds under in the web ui.

I modified the property of the custom tab in Editor Presentations view of Process Configurations and removed the property value hideIfEmpty, restarted Jazz but still not work.

What do I miss here?

Hi
The Web/UI does not support the custom tab and the Custom Attributes Layout. Try using a different layout or create an additional tab.
I have filed defect 72739: https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/72739.

Thanks, Marcel,
So it may work if I added it under other existing tab like Oeriew or create a new tab completely?

Yes, that should work.

I tried to add a new Presentation to the Overview tab's Detail Section but it won't show up.

I guess this make sense as you can use either the predefined attributes or you can use custom attributes. But if I use custom attributes, it needs to be first defined and added to the type category and then it will be forced to end up under custom tab, which the current web ui can't display for now.

A presentation only shows up if the work item has the assigned attribute.
To show a custom attribute you have to
1. Declare the attribute in Type & Attributes
2. Add an editor presentation for that attribute (e.g. on the Overview tab)
3. Create a new work item (existing work items will not automatically get the added attributes)

Only custom attributes that are not configured to show up on any tab will end in the custom attributes tab.

If your attribute does not show up on newly created work items, it is a bug and should be reported as such.

Marcel,
Great! The key is that as you said Only custom attributes that are not configured to show up on any tab will end in the custom attributes tab.

My old tests were configured in both cusotm and overiew tab. I created a new one and only added it to the overview tab.It works.
